Second Hand Book + Comic store | 
pickI found such a cool bookshop today - stumbled upon it while getting my daughter a bag for University - it doesn‘t have a listing in the database but this is pretty close. It‘s named after the Elizabeth Goudge book @LeahBergen and it‘s got a great selection of vintage childrens books. Book haul to follow! #greendolphin #secondhandbooks
Ruthiella I read The Green Dolphin. 1/2 takes place in NZ, though Goudge had never been there. 1y

LeahBergen Gahhhh! Look at all those beauties! 😮 1y

Centique @Ruthiella wow! I never knew that! Now I have to read it 💕 1y
Centique @batsy @LeahBergen so many! And I so rarely see these in NZ, I was amazed. 1y
rockpools Seriously! It looks like my childhood bookshelf transported itself through time and space, and wound up in NZ! (Kind of 😂😂 - but we owned a good few of those, in these editions!) 1y
rockpools THE PINBALLS! Random fact, if I remember right, they use mayonnaise in their cake-baking. Which always struck me as odd. 1y
Centique @rockpools there must be a wormhole in this shop! Yes, so much like my childhood bookshelves too. 😍 1y
Centique @rockpools I think I have a recipe somewhere that does that too! But I haven‘t read The Pinballs, I might go back and get it! 1y
rockpools @Centique Did you ever read Betsy Byars? She tended to write very ‘issues‘y stuff, so not a barrel of laughs - I think this was set in a children‘s home or the care system. But it definitely stuck! Down to remembering ridiculous details… (I‘m probably thinking of a totally different book now 🤔) 1y
